Who is the ONLY pollster ever to have McCain up here?

Something else worth noting: https://uselectionatlas.org/POLLS/SENATE/2006/polls.php?fips=24

SUSA may not be ARG, but if they're giving outliers, they're outliers.

I'm tempted to say outlier but, with the exception of CNN/Time, this is within the margin of error of all the polls coming out of Minnesota for the past month.

St. Paul Convention bounce?

Rasmussen released a poll showing Obama up by 8 recently.

Minnesota is closer than it used to be, but the internals on this one are wacky IMO.

I'll admit Minnesota has tightened though I'm at a loss on why exactly. Rasmussen said Obama +8 last poll so I'll wait for another one from them.

I believe it about like I believe North Carolina, but this is still a fine excuse to go home and spend some sweet quality time with my wife.

I guess I have a stop or two to make on the way home.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.  SUSA is getting more and more ridiculous.  They seem to fluctuate around a 10% accuracy mark.  I think the average of SUSA polls, since they include no weighting, might have validity. But any poll SUSA conducts that strongly looks like an outlier, I strongly feel, is almost no different than a Zogby Interactive.



I've been saying this for a bit as well.  SUSA *never* has a boring poll and that, considering their volume of polls, is suspicious since the more exciting pollsters get a lot more business.

I was just humoring Spade with my initial comment, I don't think McCain has a shot in hell to win Minnesota.

Obama is leading nationally by 5 or 6... and losing in Minnesota.


Right.

For those who are too lazy, their senate poll has:
Coleman 43
Franken 33



Yeah.

yeah...

I hate joining a partisan gang bang on a poll showing not in my favor, but I've been bashing SUSA pro-Obama polls too.

The whole bunch of Senate polls from MN just confuse me.  If there's a third party candidate who has frequently been pulling double digits in some polls, how come several of the other polling firms only list Franken and Coleman as choices?  Do they really expect anything close to an accurate result?

The jump in Barkley's support isn't really much of a surprise though.  The poll was conducted in the middle of the bailout failure/resurrection, and I can see a good chunk of voters becoming disenchanted with both the Democrats and the Republicans from that.

Right.

no, but even if this poll is off 5 points, if McCain is running a couple of points better in MN (-4) than he is nationally (-6), then McCain has a shot to win the EV if he can pull to within a couple of points nationally.

Their MN polling is awful. Hopefully they will have a turnaround in their next polls or will look really foolish on Nov. 5.

yeah SUSA's methodology is probably messed up.
